Kisra – Traditional Sudanese Bread

The first truly Sudanese thing I ate on this trip. My mother loves Kisra. It’s a kind of spongy flat bread made from sorgum or millet and tastes pretty good when it’s fresh. A really interesting fact is that every batch is created with a starter from an older batch. I’m not sure why that is, but it’s almost like generational bread. The flavor is hard to explain, but the closest thing might be like a slightly peet-flavored nan bread, but without any char and a little spongier. Kisra goes really well when using it to dip or grab other foods or ripped up into chunks for soups.
